1. A method for distributing customized offers, wherein the method comprises:
generating, via a distributed network comprising a plurality of servers of a system, a map comprising offer distribution histories and a plurality of users receiving one or more associated offers, wherein the plurality of users are connected within the map according to a tracked social networking influence, wherein multiple servers of the distributed network are operable concurrently to execute instructions to generate the map;
selecting, via the distributed network, a first user of the plurality of users according to a purchasing history of the first user, a location of the first user, and a social networking popularity of the first user;
sending, via the distributed network, an invitation to the first user to develop a first offer for a second user;
updating a first user profile, stored in a non-transitory memory storage device accessible by the distributed network, by adding:
a connection between the first user and another user of the plurality of users,
a history of offers distributed to the first user, and
a record of interactions of the first user with the system;
presenting a graphical user interface that is configured to enable the first user to develop the first offer according to a selection of the second user, information about the second user, offer parameters based on information about the first user, and a message created by the first user, wherein the message is personalized to the second user;
distributing the first offer to the second user;
tracking, via the distributed network, the system, and the non-transitory memory storage device, a social networking influence of the first user according to an action of the second user with respect to the first offer, wherein:
the social networking influence is strong if the second user redeems the first offer,
the social networking influence is moderate if the second user accesses the first offer, and
the social networking influence is weak if the second user has no interaction with the first offer; and
distributing a second offer to the first user according to the action of the second user with respect to the first offer.
